IMPORTANT FOREWORD 

I do not fear, I anticipate a natural criticism from 
anyone who might select and read a chapter or any 
part of this book separately. To gain the full benefit 
from your automobile you must use it properly. 

Will you take the comparatively small amount of 
time necessary to read EVERY WORD of this 
book THOTFULLY, and in order? It will pay 
you bigger returns than you can imagine. It has

Physical Cure as a Divine Right 

CHAPTER I 

Personal Experience 

((Measles, and Scarlet Fever, followed by my 
body being temporarily crippled with Rheumatic 
Congestion for several weeks. ) ) 

I was seriously sick, and shortly after midnight 
became suddenly much worse. I was all alone, and 
was very thirsty. I was in awful pain, but was un- 
able to get anyone to come and help me. I felt as 
tho I was soon going to die. I tried to think, but 
my brain would not seem to work connectedly. 
Then it was that I felt a great longing for someone 
to save me; and all at once I thot I heard a voice 
say to me, — "Call upon God, who is an ever present 
help in time of trouble." 

So, in my terrible agony, I cried out to God with 
my soul, to help me; and I promised Him that, if 
He would let me live, I would re-consecrate my life 
again, in better service for Him, and place my trust 



12 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

wholly in Him. Instantly I commenced to feel re- 
lieved, and grew better rapidly. Two days later I 
was carried to an ambulance, and transferred to a 
hospital ward, where I became wholly well, by 
means of constant good prayer. (The medicine they 
gave me I conveyed to a sputum cup, as soon as the 
nurse's back was turned.) ((However, my advice 
to anyone is, — to take the medicine the doctor orders 
for you, as long as you are trusting in medicines. 
When you will trust in God perfectly, you will not 
need drugs. Drugs are necessary for those whose 
perfect faith in God is lacking. ) ) 

As soon as I was able, I began devoting as much 
time as possible to a more faithful study of God's 
Word, — and have given much more time to it since 
then. 

I am thoroly convinced that the Holy Scripture 
is the Word of Life, and, if I do not know anything 
else, I want always to know how to live. 

In the time of my service with the Hospital Corps 
of the United States Navy during the World War, 
I cared for nearly every kind of sickness ; and I shall 
consider anyone my friend, who will deem me 
worthy to help in a time of suffering, — and hereby 
offer my services wherever I may be located. 



CHAPTER II 

Price To Be Paid 

The price to be paid is, OBEDIENCE. Simply 
obey the instructions, and you will have earned the 
right to a normal body and perfect health. You will 
deserve it, — you will be worthy ; and you will imme- 
diately enjoy the "cure," "according to your faith." 



CHAPTER III 

Physical Cure — Treatise I 

(Acute Disorders) 

In the first place, it is necessary to consider just 
what we mean by Physical Cure. Therefore, let us 
understand that it is the act of relieving the body of 
a physical handicap, and restoring the mind and body 
to a normal state of efficiency. 

In this treatise I do not purpose to specify every 
ailment that the human mind and body has been sub- 
ject to, because I am not going to prescribe a differ- 
ent treatment for every trouble; hence I will only 
need to write a chapter, instead of a book. I am 
quite sure this will please the most of us. 

If you were walking along the street and suddenly 
felt a sense of abnormality in your foot, what would 
you immediately think? "Why," you would say to 
yourself, "there is something the matter with my 
foot!" "Yes, but how do you know there is?" I 
ask you. And you reply, "It pains me !" "And how 
do you know it pains you ?" I ask. "Why, I feel it !" 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 1 5 

you say. "Yes, but how do you feel it?" I question. 
"It hurts!" you answer again. "And how does it 
hurt, pray tell me ?" And then you stop and think. 
"Well, I do not know!" you finally reply. "It just 
hurts, that's all !" 

Now, exactly here is where the real trouble begins. 
You can not answer that question, and not one per- 
son can, with perfect satisfaction. The hardest thing 
a doctor has to do is to perfectly diagnose his case, — 
to find correctly what he calls symptoms, for want of 
a better word. 

In order to comprehend a sense of ill-feeling in 
your body, it becomes necessary for you to use your 
mind; therefore, if it is necessary for you to use 
your mind in order to comprehend ill feeling, will 
you not more readily use your mind to overcome this 
evil, if you can know the way? Consequently, I 
will proceed to show you. So it is up to me, as your 
doctor, to answer that question, and perform the 
physical cure. 

Now it is thoroly understood that we have had 
the bad habit of using our head or brain or mind, to 
conceive a false sense of suffering or imperfection, in 
one's self and in others; therefore, let us remember 
that the trouble is in our mind, and not in physical 






1 6 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

bodies. When a man "loses his mind," he has no 
way of knowing there is something wrong with his 
foot: when a man "uses his mind," he has every 
way of knowing when there is something wrong in 
his head. So we will do as Christ did, — instantly 
drive the "evil idea" out of our mind, and put a 
"good idea" in its place, and we will have a har- 
monious mind, and perfect control of our body also. 
"Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with 
good." It is only possible to do this by continued 
practice. (At the same time that I am writing 
these words, I have overcome, almost instantly, a 
tremendous attack of so-called "headache.") [See 
"Personal Statement of Resistance," on page 40.] 

Here is an actual illustration: — 

You think, for instance, that you feel a false need 
to cough, or sneeze, or clear your throat. 

If you will think, instantly, with your mind 
(which God has given you, and ordained that man- 
kind shall use), and insist upon the fact, — that the 
trouble is up in your mind and not down in your 
throat nor lungs, — that at some previous time you 
have allowed an "evil idea" to lodge in your mind — 
take root and grow, until it caused your body to 
violate some law or laws, which brought about the 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 1 7 

false sense of annoyance in your throat or lungs, — 
and, therefore, if you will go back to the root of the 
trouble, and get right with God, good (and just at 
this time I think I need to sneeze. Why? Because, 
while I have hastily arisen from my bed to record 
these words before they get out of my mind, and in 
my enthusiasm and my bath-robe I am not suffi- 
ciently protected from the cold draught of air, and 
so have violated a natural law which has an auto- 
matic result, and from whose further evil conse- 
quences I must protect myself, by correcting the 
situation and getting right with God) ; and, again, 
drive out the "evil idea" and put a "good idea" in 
its place, — we shall have a harmonious mind, and 
perfect control of our body again. Persistence in 
applying the TRUTH, is the "watch-word" here. 

I spent a comparatively short time in one college 
of medicine, — and somewhat over a year caring for 
the sick and injured, where medicine was used, — and 
I am thoroly convinced that what I learned in 
several previous years of study — of anatomy and 
physiology, hygiene and sanitation, and metaphysical 
research — is the truth; and that these truths form 
the only solid foundation on which to build a 
proposition for a wholly satisfactory and permanent 
physical cure, for every ailment. 



1 8 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

When you see an individual who is in perfect 
physical health, you can set it down as the truth, 
that that person has complied fundamentally with all 
the laws which operate for the perfect control of his 
being. He may not profess religion of any kind, by 
word of mouth, but he is more than that, a living 
profession of the great truths of life. 

Now, to get back to my patient who is suffering 
with his foot, — or rather, I should say, with his 
head and foot. 

He said his foot hurts, but that he does not know 
how it hurts. Well, to tell you the truth, I do not 
know either. If he does not know, I surely do not. 
In fact, I did not know how my own foot hurt, 
when I thot it did. And the more I tried to figure 
out how and why it was hurting me, when, from 
all appearances, there was nothing the matter with 
it, the more puzzled and provoked I became, and 
finally resigned my own case, in disgust and dismay. 
So, then, what did I do? Well, I did the only thing 
that was left for me to do, since I could not at the 
time get any human agency to help me, — I turned to 
God Almighty, with humble and earnest prayer, — 
and He cured me when all else had failed me. 

But my patient is still suffering with his foot and 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 1 9 

head, and I will proceed at once to prescribe a cure 
for him. I have diagnosed his case in my own mind, 
and I will now explain his trouble. 

In the first place, when his feelings down in his 
foot became ill-affected, he immediately responded to 
their call, and said to himself, "Yes, that is so; there 
is something the matter with my foot!" Now, let 
me ask you, why should he so willingly allow his 
mental intelligence to accept so promptly the verdict 
of his physical feelings? Well, I will tell you why. 
It is simply and only because it is the established 
bad practice, of most all of us sinful human beings, 
to take our own feelings for granted instantly. 

Now, I want you to thoroly understand me. We 
are dealing with a so-called pain, that is a type of ill 
feeling, which is known to occur spasmodically in 
almost any part of every physical body; and, altho 
we are treating the foot this time, let us remember 
that it is the same kind of pain as may be located in 
any other part of the human body. It is a physical 
annoyance. 

In this treatise, I am not dealing with chronic 
cases, — nor with cases that are the result of injury, 
or where, because of certain reasons, there is physical 
damage to some part of the body. 



20 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

I am dealing now with acute cases ; and all acute 
cases of physical ill feeling are in the same class, and 
must be dealt with and cured, with one and the same 
remedy, — which I will now proceed to prove to you. 

It is perfectly reasonable and proper for your feel- 
ings to communicate to your mind, that there is an 
abnormal state of feeling in some part of your body ; 
but it is not reasonable nor proper for you to allow 
your feelings to dictate to you. Therefore, instead 
of you allowing your feelings to tell you what is the 
trouble and what to do, you take the matter in 
charge, and you decide exactly what the trouble is, 
and exactly what to do. 

So here is the point to remember, — your ill feel- 
ings are simply the means thru which you can know 
that there is a wrong idea somewhere in your head, 
which is causing you to violate some natural law or 
laws, which causes the false sense of suffering in 
your body; and, until you get the wrong idea out, 
and the right idea into your head, the wrong idea 
will soon or later cause the same results in your 
body again. And you may take drug medicine and 
cure an attack of rheumatism, for instance, but, un- 
less you get the "evil idea" out of your head which 
is causing that attack of rheumatism, you are most 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 21 

liable to have repeated attacks until the disease 
finally cripples your body almost hopelessly. Now 
have you got the above stated law, or truth, into 
your head or mind ? If you have, — then praise God ! 
— you will be saved, body and soul. ( (In the above 
"law," the name "rheumatism" is "interchangeable," 
— you can use the name of any kindred ill ( and they 
all belong to the same Devil's family) in the place 
of rheumatism, and the results are practically the 
same. ) ) 

And just here, I must tell you, that we would not 
be able to perform a cure of any kind without the 
good will and help of the Great Power, that made 
the World and created every one of us; and we 
must adjust our living to conform to all the correct 
laws, if we would be in tune with, and held in 
favor by this Great Power. Therefore, you must 
learn and understand at this time, the fundamental 
truth about all suffering, — namely, that every ill 
feeling in your body, be it physical or mental, is, at 
some time, preceded and caused by the sinfulness of 
that body. 

I do not believe it is necessary for me to go into 
detail as to what sin it was, or how that sin caused 
the physical ill feeling in your foot. It has taken 



22 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

me several years of patient study, observation, and 
experience, to learn about this great truth, that 
which would require a large volume in itself, were 
I to go into detail about it. 

It may have been a sin of a few moments before, 
or a sin of several years before, which caused that 
so-called pain at this time. Therefore, it will suffice, 
for you to accept this fact, — take the TRUTH for 
granted, — and act in accord with it. 

If you would get rid of the weeds in your garden, 
you must pull them up by the roots ; it is only tem- 
porary gain, to doctor the tops of them, for, soon 
or later, they keep on coming up to pester you again. 
And if, you will get rid of the pain in your body, 
permanently, you must get rid and keep rid of the 
cause of the pain. And since you have accepted the 
truth, — that sin is the cause of all pain, and, there- 
fore, that you are a sinner, — it is only necessary to 
find a satisfactory remedy for all sin, and the pain 
will stop, and you will be cured. 

And here again I must ask you to accept undoubt- 
ingly, and believe perfectly, without my lengthy 
explanation, something which you may never be able 
to fully understand in this world. It is a PERFECT 
REMEDY FOR ALL SIN,— and it is only neces- 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 23 

sary for you to BELIEVE PERFECTLY, in order 
to BE CURED PERFECTLY. 

If you will continually repeat, slowly and sin- 
cerely, the FORMULA FOR LIFE (following), 
— until you convince yourself that you mean what 
you are saying, — you will suddenly realize that you 
are relieved of every physical handicap, and restored 
in mind and body to a normal state of efficiency. 
You are cured ! Now, "Go, and sin no more." 



CHAPTER IV 

Formula For Life 

(Science of Christ) 

"Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief. " 

Now, Satan, get thee hence ! 

Dear Lord, our Heavenly Father! Be Thou 
merciful to me, a sinner? Again, I do acknowledge, 
contritely, my sins unto Almighty God ; and receive 
forgiveness. ((Breathe deeply.)) And again, I do 
desire, earnestly, to love (please) the Lord, our 
God, with all my heart, and with all my soul, and 
with all my mind, and with all my strength ; and my 
neighbor, as myself. 

I do love God, as my Divine Father. 

I love Jesus Christ, as my personal Savior. 

I love all my fellow-creatures. 

And, finally, — I love our God in all creation. So 
that :— 

My soul is now absent to the body and present 
with the Lord. I am with God. ( (I am on God's 
side.)) Therefore, I can recognize no sense of im- 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 25 

perfection in my being. Consequently, I am whole, 
well, and, perfect, — thru Divine Love. Right, now, 
I am perfect with the Lord. Praise and glory to 
God. Praise, and glory to God! — Amen. 

I have bowed to God; I have complied with all 
the laws of the Bible — the Word of God ; and now 
I will trust wholly in Him that all is well. — Amen. 

Now, go on about your business of doing good. 
"Go, and sin no more." 



FORMULA FOR LIFE (With Notes) 

"Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief," ( (I

Now, Satan, get thee hence! ((Evil idea, get

Dear Lord, our Heavenly Father! Be Thou 
merciful to me, a sinner? ((Lord, forgive me for 
doubting the fullness of thy love.)) Again, I do 
acknowledge, contritely, my sins unto Almighty 
God, and receive forgiveness. ( ( I am free, now, 
from the fetters of sin; I have the consciousness of 
being forgiven.)) ((Take a deep breath.)) And, 
again, I do desire, earnestly, to love the Lord, our 



26 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

God, with all my heart, and with all my soul, and 
with all my mind, and with all my strength; and 
my neighbor as myself. ( ( I must feel a whole- 
hearted devotion toward God and my fellow-beings. 
Every desire of my heart, always showing a good 
spirit, every thot of my mind, and the use of all 
my strength and vitality, must be pleasing and ac- 
ceptable to God ; and I must try to please each one 
of my associates, as much as I please myself. ) ) ( ( I 
should enjoy the things of this (God's) world, with 
proper moderation.)) 

I do love (care for) God, — Supreme-Being, Di- 
vine-Creator, Truth, Life, Love, Good, — as my 
Divine Father. ((Because, God, the great Power 
that made the World, also created every living 
thing, including mankind; consequently, we are in- 
debted to Him for all life, including our own, and 
must feel toward Him with gratitude, for the mercy 
He has shown toward us, and the blessings we have 
been permitted to enjoy.) ) 

I love (reverence) Jesus Christ (most perfect 
One of God), as my personal Savior, ((Because, 
Jesus Christ, who is unanimously recorded as having 
lived a perfect life, and, as a result, having a perfect 
body and mind with which to enjoy this world, 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 27 

gave up His life here, at middle age, and shed His 
precious blood in horrible agony on the Cross at 
Calvary, for the remission of the sins of the world, 
in accordance with the Divine plan, which, includ- 
ing Christ's resurrection from the dead, and the 
contributing incidents of the time, as recorded, is sat- 
isfactory proof that the Word of God is true ; and, so 
that we may believe on the Word, and keep God's 
commandments, and live according to the teachings 
of Christ and the Prophets, as given to us in the 
Bible, — so that we w T ill be continually free from 
further sin, — and finally enter into that perfect 
state of Heavenly existence, here and hereafter.)) 

I love (respect) all my fellow-creatures. ((Be- 
cause, all life having come from the same source, we 
all are brothers and sisters, in Spirit and in Truth.) ) 
((I love all my fellow-beings, at least with the 
love of omission, — namely, to take care, and, with the 
blessing from God, not to displease, nor harm any- 
one, by thot, look, word, or act, — not even the hum- 
blest of my fellow-beings. Also, with the love of 
commission, — namely, to try as much as possible, ac- 
cording to my strength, ability, and means, and with 
God's blessing, to do something, by thot, look, word, 
and deed, — to please, and help my fellow-beings. 



28 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

And, later, — with both the love of omission and the 
love of commission, together; — to the extent of my 
power with God's blessing.) ) 

And, finally, — I love (feel with affection toward) 
our God in all creation. ((Because — "God is All, 
and in all" ; God is in everything that is created 
good ; I can see God and a good spirit, in everything 
all about me; there is good in everyone and every- 
thing — God is all around us: God is "ever present." 
So that: — 

My soul is now absent to the body and present 
with the Lord. ( (My living-being is at this time 
inattentive toward my body and immediately in the 
company of the Spirit of God. ) ) I am with God. 
( ( I am on the side of, and in the company of, the 
Good Spirit.)) Therefore, I can recognize no 
sense of imperfection in my being. ((Therefore, I 
can know again, or acknowledge, or own, no faculty 
of perception, nor discernment, nor meaning, of de- 
fectiveness, or fault, in my existence, or sphere of 
existence ; I can see no bad — I can see only good. ) ) 
Consequently, I am whole, well, and perfect — thru 
Divine Love. ( (I am complete, sound, and faultless 
by means of TRUTH.)) Right now, I am per- 
fect with the Lord. ((Right, at this time, I am 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 29 

faultless in spirit with Christ; I have a good 
spirit.)) Praise, and glory to God. Praise, and 
glory to God! Amen. 

It may not seem possible at first, but after you 
have practiced the FORMULA sufficiently, you 
will be able to comprehend it fully, and then you 
can have control over your body completely. 

Begin at once to practice this FORMULA; use 
it faithfully every time you have a physical or moral 
need ; and sometime you will have permanently, that 
perfect health, joy, and "peace which passeth un- 
derstanding." 

Do not reject this. If you have any doubt, cast 
it out, for doubt in itself is the greatest sin. 

Hereafter, when your feelings tempt you to use 
your own mind to acknowledge suffering, just keep 
your feelings down, and immediately say, "Satan, 
get thee hence !" — and continue to repeat the FOR- 
MULA in your mind, — and persevere in being per- 
fectly happy again. 

In my second treatise, following, I will speak of 
good doctors, and indorse the blessed part which 
they will always have to play in this world; for 
chronic cases, and those that are the result of acci- 



30 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

dents, usually require material help at first, — altho 
there are, occasionally, miraculous examples to the 
contrary. 



CHAPTER V 

Physical Cure, Treatise II 

(Injuries and Chronic Cases) 

In this chapter, as I have heretofore intimated, I 
will discourse upon all the other ailments of the 
body, — known as chronic cases and those that are 
the result of accidents. The same definition for a 
permanent cure will apply here also. So in course, 
I shall class these under the heading of chronic 
cases and accidents, and treat them in general. I 
will not go into too much detail, for here again it 
would fill at least two large volumes, and I do not 
feel that it is necessary, in order to gain the pur- 
pose in view, at this time to write more than this 
chapter. ( ( However, I repeat here, that I will 
gladly afford you personal assistance if you will com- 
municate with me, definitely. ) ) Therefore, I will 
illustrate the fundamental principle, and leave you 
to do the rest. 

In my previous chapter I pictured a situation in 
which you were tempted to suffer an ill feeling 



32 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

in your body, when it had no appearance of being 
disabled ; and I taught you how to overcome it. 

This time, we will suppose that you have a defi- 
nite accident to your foot; — you have just stepped 
on a nail, — and wounded your foot so that it bled. 
What happened ? Immediately, as before, your feel- 
ings in your foot communicated to your brain, that 
there was an abnormal sense of feeling in your foot ; 
but this time it was an intelligent and proper com- 
munication. It told you of a definite sense of feel- 
ing, — a sense of rupture; and almost instantly you 
said to yourself, "I have injured the tissues of the 
fleshy part of my foot!" — or something to the same 
effect. And this is just what your feelings are sup- 
posed to do, — telegraph to your mind every pro- 
nounced and definite sense of rupture, of your phys- 
ical forces. ( (And, unless your feelings are able 
to describe, satisfactorily, a defined condition, of an 
interruption, of the functioning, of some part of 
your body, there is nothing wrong with you. In 
other words, when you are yet able to perform, 
there is not a thing seriously the matter with you.) ) 
So, what should you do? You should have an ex- 
amination made as soon as possible; and whether 
you do it yourself, or allow some other person to do 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 33 

it, does not matter, as long as the injury is satisfac- 
torily examined, — and correctly treated. And it 
does not make any difference what part of the body 
becomes damaged, — or whether it is the result of an 
unsuspected accident, or an accident which is the im- 
mediate or indirect result of succumbing to tempta- 
tion with sin. You must, as soon as possible, have 
it attended to, by a competent person. 

Now, you may not feel competent, at this time, 
to treat this, or any injury or complaint, satisfac- 
torily; so I will proceed and teach you. 

For any injury to the body, or any case of sick- 
ness or disease, — be it acute, or repeated acute, or 
chronic, — it is only necessary to obey, several or 
more, of the laws of anatomy and physiology, hygiene 
and sanitation and metaphysics, and you will be re- 
lieved of any physical handicap, and be restored in 
mind and body to a normal state of efficiency. You 
will be cured. 

Now, once more, I must ask you to accept the 
benefit of my life and experience, and obey the fol- 
lowing instructions, which are a manifestation of the 
use of all the laws referred to above. Obey the fol- 
lowing instructions carefully : — 

1. Have any injury to the body properly 



34 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

cleansed, and treated, and dressed, as soon as pos- 
sible. 

2. Have any serious internal disorder, which 
gives outward evidence of its existence, corrected, as 
soon as possible, by a competent physician. 

3. Use the FORMULA FOR LIFE, (page 
24), first, last, and always. If your faith is perfect, 
the cure will be perfect. Without the blessing from 
God, no cure is possible. With the blessing from 
God, every ailment is possible of a permanent cure, 
according to the meaning of physical cure, as I have 
defined it, in the beginning of Treatise I. Indi- 
viduals with chronic cases must be most persistent 
and patient, in the use of the FORMULA. 

Now, I wish to say right here, "God bless the 
good doctors and surgeons," — and nearly all of them 
are competent. I believe that there is only rarely 
one, now and then, who can not be trusted. I have 
had the privilege of working with some of the best 
doctors and surgeons in the world, and I reiterate 
that it is perfectly wonderful what they can do. 
Therefore, whenever you feel that you ought to 
have a doctor, by all means engage one; for it is to 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 35 

the good of others as well as yourself. And do not 
let the thot of the expense stand in your way; when 
you need assistance, it is your first duty to request 
it. And, in the meantime, use the FORMULA 
FOR LIFE consistently. 

After you have sent word to the doctor, place 
your body in as comfortable a position as it is 
possible to do at once, relax all your muscles, direct 
your thot upward, — LOVE GOD (exclude every- 
thing else for a while), — and repeat, slowly and 
carefully, the FORMULA (page 24), until you fall 
asleep. If the doctor comes while you are asleep, 
and can not get into the house, why, that is all right, 
for, when you awaken you will be all well; and so 
long as you get well, that is all that is necessary. 
You have done your duty, and so did the doctor. 
And, if you get a bill from him for his time, and 
can afford to pay it at once, do so ; for you are cured, 
— and he deserves the money. (See page 24.) 



Now, go on about your business of doing good, 
and praising God with your soul. "Go, and sin no 
more." 

Hereafter, read the Word of God, much, and 
keep your life filled with TRUTH and LOVE, 
and you will continually be happy, all the day long. 



CHAPTER VI 

Physical Cure, Treatise III 

(General Treatment) 

Here is the only positive cure for every afflic- 
tion : — 

You may try this only as a last resort ; but, if you 
wait until then, you will not only have suffered 
longer, but you will have been without the joy that 
comes to us from the greatest blessing that our 
Heavenly Father gives to His children — who trust 
in Him. God's Word is, "I am an ever present 
help in time of trouble" ; and we must accept His 
Word, and believe on it, if we would expect to re- 
ceive His blessing. 

The FORMULA FOR LIFE (page 24) is 
based upon God's Word, and has been tried and 
proven to be true. It is very plain and under- 
standable, and is a . final - result of several years of 
consecrated thot and effort. 

We have been dallying with religion for too many 
years ; and there are many persons in the world who 
are longing for something definite and simple. 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 37 

To those who have been inclined to be indifferent 
toward God — I implore you to think on this. 

If you have a Creed that is wholly satisfactory, it 
is akin to this. If your Creed does not answer for 
your every need, you can accept this FORMULA. 

Even thru curiosity you may learn this FOR- 
MULA; it will only take a few minutes, and the 
results will surprise and please you. I realize it is 
a busy world; but you will feel like being busier 
when you thoroly understand God's Love. Learn 
this FORMULA today, and perhaps tomorrow, 
when no earthly assistance is at hand, you will have 
a chance to save yourself from a sense of suffering, 
and even death, before it would be possible to get 
any other aid. 

While your faith is perfect, God's Love will never 
fail you. If you are a chronic case, it may take you 
a longer time to become wholly cured, altho you will 
feel the Power of God's Love at once, — after you 
accept and believe the FORMULA. 

Matter (the body) does not always respond in- 
stantly, nor does it always become wholly perfect at 
once ; but, depending upon one's belief and faith, 
one will become whole, well, and perfect, — thru Di- 
vine Love. For example : — 



38 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

If it so happens that you are unfortunate at the 
time this message comes to you, — that you think 
you have a sense of pain or imperfection in 
your body, which no usual means can quickly and 
perfectly cure, — and you are willing to place your 
trust wholly in God, follow these instructions, and, 
thru this FAITH, you will be cured. You must 
believe, perfectly, now, and then GOD WILL DO 
HIS PART. 

First: Stop whatever you are doing, and think 
only of becoming well. 

Second: Place your body in as comfortable a 
position as it is possible to do at once, and relax 
every muscle. 

Third: Direct your thot upward, to a higher 
plane, and— LOVE GOD. ((Exclude all other 
thots for about five ( 5 ) minutes. ) ) 

Now, say the FORMULA FOR LIFE (page 
24) slowly, and earnestly; — and with perfect faith, 
— and continue to repeat it without stopping, and 
without thinking of anything else, until you sud- 
denly realize it is the TRUTH. Repeat it until 

you are cured. 

If you feel like going to sleep, do so, and, when 
you awaken, you will be well — thru Divine Love. 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 39 

Arise at once, for you are "cured" ; and begin imme- 
diately to live anew. 

The last thing you think when going to sleep 
is, "I am with God." The first thing you think 
of now is, "I am with God" (good) ; and go on 
thinking so, for you are now free from the shackles 
of sin. 

You began to have perfect control over your body 
when you had read the FORMULA thru once. 
Each time you repeat it, you should feel it more; 
so continue to use it faithfully for the rest of your 
life. 

Now at this point I want to tell you that you 
must combat the error of misbelief. So, every time a 
thot of any imperfection of body, or any ill sugges- 
tion, or any evil, or unkind, or unhappy thot or 
act, tries to enter your being, you must instantly 
correct this error and keep it out of your life, by 
repeating to yourself these words, "Satan, get thee 
hence !" for I am with God, and constantly trust in 
Him; therefore, I can recognize no sense of imper- 
fection, — and then go on about your business of do- 
ing good. "Go, and sin no more." (Page 24.) 



40 physical cure as a divine right 
Personal Statement of Resistance 

Every time a thot of any imperfection of body, 
or any ill suggestion, or any evil, or unkind, or un- 
happy thot or act, or anything displeasing tries to 
enter my mind, I must instantly correct this error 
and keep it out of my life, by picturing in my mind 
these words: "Satan, get thee hence !" (evil idea get 

from here ! ) 

and, LOVE GOD — and now go on 

about my business of doing good. (("Be ye there- 
fore perfect, even as your Father which is in 
Heaven is perfect' ' ; and remember, it is possible 
only by continued practice, — "practice makes per- 
fect." )) 



CHAPTER VII 
Physical Cure, Treatise IV 
(General Treatment, Concised) 

Here is the one real cure for every affliction, 
shortened: ((If your faith is perfect, the cure will 
be perfect.)) 

Place your body in as comfortable a position as it 
is possible to do at once, and relax every muscle. 

Turn your thot upward, and think only of be- 
coming well ; and, LOVE GOD. 

Now repeat the FORMULA FOR LIFE (page 
24), slowly and earnestly, without stopping, until 
you realize the TRUTH. If you feel like going to 
sleep, do so; and, when you awaken, you will be 
whole, well, and perfect, — thru Divine Love. Arise 
at once, for you are cured ; and go about your busi- 
ness of doing good. "Go, and sin no more. ,, 



Hereafter, when any thot of imperfection tries 
to enter your mind, repeat the following words, until 



42 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

you have control of yourself again: "Satan, get 
thee hence!" for I am with God. 

Now, continue to do good, and persist in keep- 
ing evil out of your life. (See page 24.) 



CHAPTER VIII 

Physical Cure, Treatise V 

(Artificial First Aid 

or 

Possible Aid with Usual Means) 

It may seem to be a long step from no faith or 
partial faith, to perfect faith and trust in God; 
and so this chapter is written, with the purpose of 
bridging what otherwise might be to some a big gap, 
from complete reliance upon material aid, to com- 
plete reliance upon the Power of God. It is an ap- 
pendix, so to speak, to the four preceding chapters; 
and, altho it may seem to some, that it should be 
taken out, it has its purpose here, and we would 
leave it here to be of use in our life as it is intended. 

I can not presume to handle this treatise to the 
entire satisfaction of the most fastidious medical 
student, for I am fully aware, from my experience, 
that two or more different views and opinions of a 
certain medical problem are held by two or more 
doctors of equally good authority. And, after "all 



44 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

is said and done" about medicines and material aid, 
there always is something to be added later ; and the 
fact remains, by reason of the every day evidence of 
their failures, that material and physical power is 
not a sure thing in itself. And in every case, after 
the doctors have given up hope, if the patient turns 
to God Almighty, with humble, contrite, earnest, 
and consistent prayer, he will be cured. And it is a 
fact of history, that all peoples, when everything in 
this world fails, cry out in their misery to an un- 
seen Power, which they believe is greater than all 
of their human kind. But the greatest blessing is 
to understand this Great Power satisfactorily, while 
we yet have time to learn properly. The only dif- 
ference between the so-called ignorant and the so- 
called educated is in understanding. Physically, we 
are created the same; and not all of the so-called 
ignorant are associated in the common walks of life, 
and not all the educated are in the college halls of 
fame and fortune. One may have all the knowledge 
of all the books in the world except one Book, and 
not have divine understanding; and, on the other 
hand, a person may have only a working knowledge 
of the one Great Book, the Bible, and have per- 
fect understanding. And I would like to tell 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 45 

those who have not had the privilege to gain a col- 
lege education, that many lowly, goodly people have 
more understanding today than some of our boasted 
professors will ever have. "The first shall be last, 
and the last shall be first." And it is possible for 
everyone — and every person's duty — to have this di- 
vine understanding, which makes life a reality, and 
always a great joy. So I will do my best with this 
chapter, and leave the rest to Him who speeds me 
on. 

It might look to some as if I had started out to 
write a sermon, or a discourse on theology; but I 
assure you that I am simply stating facts and quot- 
ing truth, for the sole purpose of necessary illustra- 
tion and emphasis. 

If you have digested carefully all that I have 
stated in the preceding paragraphs, we are now 
ready and fit to consider the possible aid with usual 
means. 

It will be difficult to concise and classify satisfac- 
torily; but we will use the best system of arrange- 
ment that we have yet been able to evolve. 

It seems that I should remind you here, that I 
have stated that it was necessary to have divine un- 
derstanding ; and, until you do have that power to 



46 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

know rightly, you need not read this chapter any 
further; you would be wasting your time. ((Re- 
peat the FORMULA faithfully, and then trust to 
God for Spiritual insight.)) 

The first thing to consider then is, what to do, 
when it needs to be done. And we must know be- 
forehand: it would be too late afterward. There- 
fore, it would seem to be our duty to "know by 
heart" the following: — 

In any emergency, call for help ; — and also call to 
God. Have an earnest longing for Divine aid. Feel 
in your mind and heart an humble prayer of conse- 
cration, and rest on the promises. 

Now, do all in your power to help yourself, — 
and let others help you. Just trust in God. 

And, if you would be prepared, you would "know 
by heart" the FORMULA FOR LIFE (page 24) ; 
and now use it ; — this time to the best of your under- 
standing ; and keep a strong hold upon God and keep 
faith, for it may be your last hour upon earth ; — we 
never know. No matter how unfortunate and bad 
you may have been during life, — now that you have 
learned the truth, — if you will keep the faith to the 
end, — it will be well with your soul. God's prom- 
ises are true. May God lend His Presence; for 
without Him we are nowhere. 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 47 

In the three preceding paragraphs, I have included 
every physical and material aid, for any physical 
and spiritual emergency. 

For the pleasure and benefit of those who would 
like to pursue what they may term, reviewing a list 
of simple remedies and treatments, I will endeavor 
to complete this chapter. 

Let us bear in mind, at the time of treatment, 
that the affecting power of every remedy should be 
lessened, or increased, to suit correctly the individual 
whom you are curing. The treatment should be in- 
telligently and carefully administered. The most 
perfect cure would be a failure without the art of 
treatment, and, again, partially adaptable remedies 
will have wonderful results because of the almost 
magic application of an adept assistant. But 
do not forget for a minute the fact that God 
always has His part in every cure; and, 
whether you have been able to understand this 
or not, it must always be borne in mind as the truth. 
So, it is the results that we are after when helping to 
cure an afflicted one, and we must give ourselves 
untiringly, and neither favor nor spare ourselves the 
least might, while endeavoring to save and cure an- 
other. Everyone should use this rule conscientiously 



48 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

many times during his lifetime, — and it applies to 
the suffering of the soul equally as perfectly as it 
does apply in regard to the suffering of the body. 
And, whether one is suffering a physical pain, or an 
unhappy existence as the result of his sinful living, 
it amounts to one and the same thing, — he is miser- 
able; and, poor creature, he has the unhappy ten- 
dency of effecting to make others miserable all 
around him. I could not bear to write the preced- 
ing line, realizing as I do his depressing condition, 
without a terrible tearing at my own soul, if it was 
not for the fact, that there is yet hope for even him; 
— for even the lowest and sickest human being. For, 
at the time that I am inspired to write these words, 
my pen pauses, while my mind returns to view the 
burying-ground of my own sinful life. Yes, God 
saved me ! as He saves every one who will let Him ; — 
redeemed by the precious blood of our spotless Lord 
and Savior, Jesus Christ. Born again with a new 
spirit of Love, we take a new vision of life, and, 
finally, because of Him, adjust our living after the 
teachings of Christ, so that our soul may in time 
have perfect control of our body, and we will live to- 
gether in perfect joy and peace forevermore. 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 49 

"Life is real ! — life is earnest ! — 
Life is not a transient dream!" 

Fired by zeal that ever burnest — 
In the Soul, where Love doth gleam. 

To remain in the Heavenly plane, it is necessary 
to maintain only the perfect vision of Heavenly 
existence; and, also, to step back for now onto the 
earthly plane, it is only necessary to open our minds 
to a vision of earthly existence. Therefore, we will 
now finally consider some of Nature's physical rem- 
edies, which will help us to bridge the gulf, that 
some of us feel is a big step, from our worldly 
forces of support, to the real, great Power, of sup- 
port and control. 

With God's blessing: — 

Stomach and Associate Organs 

Sip one (1) or two (2), or even more (accord- 
ing to the person), drinking tumblersful of hot 
boiled water, when you first arise from your daily 
rest; — or any other time of the day or night, — it 
will do all that you want it to do, — for your stom- 
ach and associate organs. 



50 physical cure as a divine right 

Throat and Nose 

Gargle your throat, and irrigate carefully your 
nasal passages, at least once every day (preferably 
the first thing in the morning) , with a simple saline 
solution made by dissolving one-half a teaspoonful 
of common table salt in a drinking tumblerful of 
lukewarm water. Take a deep breath, take a 
mouthful of the solution, gargle your throat until 
you count thirty (30), and then keep up the gar- 
gling process and lean your head forward (with 
your lips closed tightly), until the salt solution all 
runs out both your nostrils. Repeat this process 
until you use all the solution, and your throat and 
nose will be cleansed ready for their day's wort 
Rinse around your nose and mouth carefully with 
fresh water, so as to remove any trace of solution 
from pores of the skin, to keep this surface from 
chapping, and becoming sore. Make the solution 
weaker or stronger with salt, according to the per- 
son, and increase the amount and number of treat- 
ments as desired or needed. With God's blessing, it 
will positively cure every nose and throat trouble, if 
used properly and faithfully. 



physical cure as a divine right 51 

Bladder and Bowels 

Eat plenty of laxative food with your meals. This 
is the only right way to take laxative, altho as an 
emergency measure, it may even be necessary to use 
a drastic purgative. Relieve yourself as soon as pos- 
sible whenever you feel the inclination to relieve 
your bladder or bowels, — for even death has been 
caused by carelessness in this regard; hence the ne- 
cessity of my being plain and frank, and possibly 
shocking the modesty of some fastidious person by 
telling you here the simple truth : it will be a bless- 
ing to those who need it. 

Bitter Licorice 

Old-fashioned bitter licorice in sticks is good for 
the throat and stomach. Eat a little before you go 
to bed. 

Irrigating the Eyes 

A full saturated boracic acid solution is proper for 
irrigation of the eyes and ears. The patient may be 
in reclining position with head turned partly to the 
side of eye to be treated, and a half an ounce or less 



52 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

of solution applied to the inner corner of the eye, at 
blood temperature, with an eye syringe or sterile 
medicine dropper, while holding eyelids open care- 
fully with thumb and forefinger. This is the only 
safe and sane process of treatment of a sick eye. 

Irrigating the Ears 

For irrigating a sick ear, the patient should be, if 
possible, in a semi-upright position, with head 
slightly leaning toward the ear to be treated. The 
above mentioned solution should be at blood heat, 
and about four (4) ounces applied intelligently with 
an ear syringe. 

Enemas, Internal Irrigation 

Enemas, or rectal baths, are a blessed good thing, 
if properly given. Personally, I have administered 
this treatment so adeptly, that all former abdominal 
congestion and pain, with every symptom of sus- 
pected appendicitis, immediately disappeared. This 
is an art in itself, and one, that a novice should 
rightly shrink from attempting ; altho every class of 
cleansing irrigation is good, and should be learned 
and used by everyone ; for sanitation, inside as well 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 53 

as outside, is the first prerequisite of a healthy body. 
"Cleanliness is next to Godliness. " And it simply 
requires a sufficient amount of common sense and 
patience, and the blessing from God. 



Toothache 

Imaginary toothache, as also all other imaginary 
pains and afflictions, are treated heretofore in this 
book ; and* an actual toothache is caused by a badly 
affected nerve, — usually an exposed nerve. A hot 
water bottle, or some other means of concentrated 
heat, will always bring at least temporary relief. 
One should have his teeth examined as soon as pos- 
sible at such times, — and also every several months, 
— and have them sufficiently treated by a competent 
dentist. Clean and healthy teeth are very necessary 
for a good, healthy body, and much suffering is pre- 
vented from those who comply with this law faith- 
fully. 

Headache 

Take a five-grain (5 gr.) capsule of aspirin, bathe 
your forehead with cold water, or place on cold 



54 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

presses or ice-cap, sip two drinking tumblersful 
of boiled hot water, pray the FORMULA and 
LOVE GOD to sleep. When you awaken you will 
be well. 

Concentrated Heat 

Properly applied concentrated heat is always good 
for every physical suffering; but this also is an art 
in itself, and one may study the means, methods, 
uses, benefits, etc., of artificial heat, for weeks and 
even months, before he can rightfully feel confident 
to use even a hot water bottle in every case. 

Divine Blessing Necessary 

But do not for a moment forget the main fact, — 
namely, that material aid is only sure of success after 
you have sincerely desired in your mind and heart 
to have the Divine blessing attend your efforts. God 
Almighty could do everything without us; but, 
whenever it is made plain to us that it is intended 
that a human agent should take some part, we must 
know and do that part, — no more and no less. 



physical cure as a divine right 55 

Never Become Bald-headed 

Under ordinary circumstances, one need never 
become really bald-headed, if he will stimulate his 
scalp properly each day before retiring, with a 
coarse but smooth tooth comb, and trust in God 
sufficiently. 

Stimulate Circulation 

Some good method of properly stimulating thoro 
circulation in every part of the body should be 
adopted and persistently used. 



Tonic 

A highly recommended tonic is helpful period- 
ically, in keeping the body toned up. If you eat 
food containing sufficient tonic, you will not need 
it otherwise. 

Antiseptics 

A full saturated solution of common table salt 
and water may be used as an antiseptic, altho a 
three and one-half per cent. (3^2%), or even a full 
seven per cent. (7%) tincture of iodine, might be 



56 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

necessary to cleanse a wound. Other antiseptics are 
considered necessary at times, altho the foregoing 
will answer every immediate purpose, — with God's 
blessing. 

Cuts and Sores 

It is not necessary to buy expensive salves. After 
you have cleansed properly the cut or wound or sore, 
with the above mentioned antiseptic or some other 
that you know is good, then apply a sufficient 
amount of refined vaseline or even clean crude petro- 
leum, and cover it with a clean cotton cloth, — and 
leave the rest to God. 

Wounds and Arterial Bleeding 

If one should sever an artery, then it is quite nec- 
essary to be attended by a good doctor as soon as 
possible. If the blood flows freely, you may know 
that it comes from a vein; if the blood comes in 
spurts and scarlet red, you may know it is from an 
artery, — and you should press your thumb immedi- 
ately above the cut, or between the cut and the 
heart, until you find the artery and observe the blood 
to stop spurting. Then, have someone bind a rope 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 57 

or towel or something strong around the wounded 
member above where your thumb is, to act as a 
tourniquet, and also place a large enough wad, or 
cloth, or something semi-solid, between the tourni- 
quet and directly over the artery, if necessary, in 
order to keep the blood shut off. Now, immediately 
call the doctor, and loosen the tourniquet every half 
hour, long enough to allow some blood to get into 
every part of that member of the body, — this is to 
prevent gangrene. The tourniquet should be ap- 
plied carefully, and do not injure the flesh if you 
can help it. One way to tighten an improvised tour- 
niquet is to place something round and smooth, like 
a clothespin, into the bandage and twist enough to 
cause the correct amount of pressure. One may also 
guard against the loss of too much blood by holding 
a wad of clean cloth, or other preparation, firmly 
against the wound. Then cleanse, treat, and dress 
it in the usual way. Now relax, — and trust in God. 

Lameness and Bad Blood 

Sore feet and all lameness — even so-called rheu- 
matism — is simply a matter of personal attention. 
The cause in every case is, or should be, quite appar- 



58 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

ent to the individual who is suffering; and it is only 
necessary to use a little common sense, — and call on 
God to do the rest. So-called poison, or a foreign 
element in the blood, is the cause of unlimited body 
trouble, and a proper regulation of one's diet, with 
sufficient faith in God thru prayer, and proper care, 
will overcome the most serious cases. 

Colds 

Dress warm enough at all times, and always be 
sure to put on sufficient extra wraps when going out 
of doors. Never remain in a draught or stay where 
you are uncomfortable; and always keep your bow- 
els working freely and regularly. This will help to 
keep one from having those disagreeable colds. In 
the beginning or during the process of a cold, or at 
any time that the occasion arises, try to sneeze thru 
your nose into a handkerchief. This helps to get rid 
of the germs of this illness. A proper laxative, a 
little quinine, plenty of throat and nose irrigation, 
and some Indian Sage herb bitters properly pre- 
pared, — attended by God's blessing, — will make one 
healthy from the worst cold. Never let a cold "wear 
off" ; it can wear you into the grave. It should 



PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 59 

seem unnecessary to say, "Never pick at your nose," 
altho some very nice people have been seen to thot- 
lessly do it. Be careful to refrain from this un- 
sightly act, for it is harmful, and very serious in- 
fections have been caused by it. 

Clean Teeth, and Cankers 

Brush your teeth intelligently after each meal; 
and for those who do not wish to afford patent 
tooth pastes, let it be known that a little lather 
made with the tooth brush on Ivory soap, will be 
quite efficient; and rinsing the mouth with the suds 
and water each time will help to keep away those 
irritating little sores called cankers. 

Baths 

Does anyone in these days need to be reminded 
that a bath, at least once a week, is necessary? 

Exercise 

And do not forget the fact that we all should 
have the proper amount of the proper kinds of men- 



60 PHYSICAL CURE AS A DIVINE RIGHT 

tal, spiritual, moral, and physical exercise, every 
day. 



The world gets so much of us, and God gets so 
little of us, that the Devil gets the best of us, if we 
don't watch out. 



Our FAITH is the only foundation for every- 
thing that is good. Do not lose faith, because with 
it goes everything that is worth while in life. 



And, "remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. ,, 

Challenge 

Have you got a good fighting-spirit — are you a 
"game-sport" — will you accept a challenge? Here 
is the challenge : — 

Whoever will read and re-read the FORMULA 
FOR LIFE thotfully and honestly, and with a sin- 
cere desire to benefit by it, must repeat it earnestly 
until the Power of Truth shall overcome him, and 
he will be cured of every affliction and unhappiness. 
It is impossible to read the FORMULA thotfully 
without benefiting by it; you are bound to feel bet- 
ter, each time that you read it. Try it thotfully a 
few times, and see. 



CHAPTER IX 

As a Last Hope 

Conscientiously repeat in your mind the FOR- 
MULA FOR LIFE at the time of death,— and all 
will yet be well with your soul. 



Be faithful to TRUTH in life, and you will have 
no regrets in death. 

THE END 



PLEDGE 

I hereby agree to thotfully repeat the FOR- 
MULA FOR LIFE every day, before retiring and 
upon arising from my daily rest, and, also, when- 
ever I am in need.
